SECTION 1810-A
Limitation on right to resort to commercial claims procedures
Uniform District Court Act (UDC) CHAPTER 565, ARTICLE 18-A
§ 1810-A. Limitation on right to resort to commercial claims procedures.

If the clerk shall find that the procedures of the commercial claims
part are sought to be utilized by a claimant for purposes of oppression
or harassment, as where a claimant has previously resorted to such
procedures on the same claim and has been unsuccessful after the hearing
thereon, the clerk may in his discretion compel the claimant to make
application to the court for leave to prosecute the claim in the
commercial claims part. The court upon such application may inquire
into the circumstances and, if it shall find that the claim has already
been adjudicated, or that the claim is sought to be brought on solely
for purposes of oppression or harassment and not under color of right,
it may make an order denying the claimant the use of the commercial
claims part to prosecute the claim.
